Obama Tells SC Crowd to Not Take Polls for Granted

Barack Obama is new at this but it looks like he is learning the game fast. Even though I think Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination, Obama is making this race interesting. By doing this, more people will get involved in the process. Look at all the new young people he is drawing into this Presidential election.

I hope voters will really think about the implications of their vote. Clinton is hated by the right whether fair or not and she is turning off many life long democrats. You can’t lead from day one winning 51% of the vote and losing seats in the House and Senate and that is if she could even manage to win. Forgot attracting Indep. and Repubs, as she is going to lose democrats. How Clinton behaved in the debate last night is exactly why she could not get health care passed and why she will bring nothing but gridlock in Washington. We can’t afford this America!

Hillary reminded American voters last night why they don’t like her and will not consider voting for her under any circumstance. They were reminded that Hillary and Bill have real character issues. Dem. voters saw they have a real choice this primary season for a candidate who represents their best ideals, Sen. Barack Obama, or the worst of a rehash and embarassment of the scandals of the 1990s.

I have been a Hillary supporter thus far, but I have to admit at this point I’m getting very nervous with how she could match up against a revitalized Republican party. The way in which she and Bill are running this campaign does seem to be turning off a lot of people, and we know from the last two elections that we can’t win with just the Democratic Party behind us.
A lot of us women obviously want to see the first woman in the White House, but I think we also need to realize getting a Democrat in the White House is the most important goal of all — no matter who that candidate is.

I really like Obama and his history of community organizing, etc. But jeez he’s an awful debater. Hillary was masterful last night and Obama looked uncomfortable on stage and with the facts. DAMN! I know ability to debate ain’t the only thing but it is important. We need a president that has ideas, is a good manager, and is fast on her feet.

Edwards was outstanding last night, as usual. He has one more chance: SC. If he can’t win there, he needs to drop out and endorse Obama. Democrats, we can’t allow Clinton to get the nomination!! She will lose in November and we’ll be stuck with Bush III.

PLEASE, PLEASE South Carolina Obama supporters don’t be fooled, get out and vote. Hillary made a very “public exit” from SC in an effort to make you assume Obama has SC in the bag so you need not waste your time. So please, let’s not forget that allot of New Hampshire and Nevada Obama supporters made that assumption and the results were not good.

Obama was so presidential last night. Hillary looked like a cornered snearing cat, ugly and fumbled. And she’s now pulling another one of her tricks out of the bag. She leaves South Carolina snubbing the voters there trying to gain sympathy again, gaining notice that she’s gone and making voters think Barack has the vote so they in turn vote for her out of sympathy and saying oh well, Obama already has all the votes. This is another Clinton trick. They are masters at this. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. VOTE VOTE VOTE.

He used the option to vote “Present” when he thought a bill needed more work, when a “No” or “Yes” wasn’t yet appropriate. It’s a cheap shot for Edwards or Hillary to try to make any other conclusions about that. What makes more sense- doing what Hillary did on the bankruptcy bill? I voted “Yes” but I hoped it wouldn’t pass?
Hillary likes to attack Obama’s record on Iraq cause her own is so poor. She didn’t bother to read the briefing and voted “Yes” anyway. On an important issue like that, there is no excuse for not doing a full review.

Hillary will divide the Democrats and then divide the country. She makes our politic and our county seem dirty.

Lady Eagle, Hillary is winning some primaries because Obama and Edwards are splitting the change vote, and of course, Bill has lied and the press has been slow to call him on it. Obama is now fighting back rapidly. Let’s see what happens. Hopefully Edwards will pull out if he does poorly in S.C.

A “Slight lead” ? Most polls show him up double digits.

Uhh,,, Lady Eagle, not so fast.
In New York City, Clinton and Obama are only three points apart in the Dem primary. A month ago it was 20 points. Does that tell you anything ?

I’m from upstate NY, Hillary is not liked by many! She’s a mediocre actress that takes on the face of the day! SC, don’t let us down! With your help in voting for Obama it will give us more ammunition up here to convince others!

Wow … reading the above letter to Sen Edwards, I thought he was talking about Obama who I believe wakes up every morning with the good of America on his mind. That’s why he is running
‘so that the end of (my) life I can look back and see I was able to make a difference and …’ something like that in an interview with Peter Jennings recently.
I’ve said in on other posts but it bears repeating. Let’s learn from history. Google “the Clinton Chronicles” and watch the video all the way through to the credits which are especially credible.
Clinton supporters and the media — be careful what we may put back into the whitehouse. If you vote for the Clintons, then don’t complain when history repeats itself.

On the democrats side this sounds like a real circus. All the unfair attacks, and the dirty tactics by so called experienced politicians to get into the White House at any cost will not prevail.
If someone is really experienced, how can he or she vote for a war that even the common person knew was fabricated?
And, on top of that, she has to turn around to blame others for misleading her…???
Next, the so called utopia about UNIVERSAL healthcare… Who is going to pay for it? In Europe they can afford to do that because they tax their citizens at over 30%.. And, you have to wait for some procedures or even to see a specialist…
And look in what is happening right here in Massachusetts..
The political maturity of the american has grown a lot. People can now spot the phony politicians and the wanna be Presidents at any cost, even, to the expense of polarizing the base.
This is a dangerous thing because a democrat can’t win without some support of few independents and even moderate republicants.
This is not about getting someone making history like a woman or an African American, but about choosing someone with character and who is willing to work with others to get things done. In that,I conclude that Obama is the best candidate, the real change and that he will be a wonderful President.

The strategy of the Clinton’s is clear and they are old hands at this: they are trying to marginalize Obama as a ‘black only candidate’ and scare up votes from white voters who may be on the fence about him. With absolute arrogance they care about nothing but getting elected or in Bill Clinton’s mind re-elected.
It is my earnest hope that Mr. Obama does not fall into this trap and stays on message.
I have read peoples comments everywhere on the net, and in newspapers; I have never seen any thing like this – so many people say ‘ If Hillary Clinton win’s I will vote for John McCain’ or not vote.’ Considering the last 10 years and the damage to our country that is troubling. You think perhaps it is driven by the fervor of youth supporting Obama, but too many were not Obama supporters, they were ordinary people, uninvolved in the primaries.
But then I watched the Bill/Hill tag team on Obama and Bill Clinton deliver a smooth lie without batting an eye.
I asked myself as an independent could I vote for Hillary Clinton or any Clinton for that matter?
Hardly youthful fervor driving my vote at 59 but I could not and would not vote for Hillary Clinton. Truthfully, I never want to see a Bush/ Clinton name again on any ballot.
